You did a great job on this video. It's nice to see both of you interacting on these type of episodes. I'm guessing the professional quality of your budgeting presentation is due to your previous work experience. I, for one, appreciate the hard work you put into your episodes. Well done! 🏧📈
Thanks!!! We were both project managers in our previous lives, so budget is a way of life! Lol! Glad you enjoyed the video... as always, thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for the budget numbers. I was estimating your monthly total from the category percentages as you went along and then your actual total didn’t seem to jive. Unless I missed something, transportation at $841/ mo isn’t your single largest cost and it wouldn’t be 38% of the total $2568. It would be 33%. The food and entertainment category at $925 (36%) is your highest.
I’ll double check them next time I have the computer out! ... it’s possible that an item could have got jumbled up when I was sorting them into categories and figuring %’s. But, for sure the grand total is accurate! Thanks for the heads up.
It is really their van, they just let us live int it! LOL! We actually did a whole video on Van Life With Cats. Here is the link! ua-cam.com/video/L_eBqKOcmzw/v-deo.html
Informative video, not thrilling, but highly informative. Like all of your other videos, you're sharing all the secrets, that for some reason, other van-lifers don't want to share. Good luck on your travels
When you ship your van across the ocean I hope you do a video about that. How to find a trustworthy shipping co. Do's and don'ts and whatever you learn. ❣️
Very, very good! Thanks very much for sharing this! Perhaps something to consider for the use of internet is getting a mobile wifi hotspot (i.e. Huawei do them). Look for one to be operated with a SIM card. You could then, in the respective country, look for the cheapest pre-paid all-you-can-eat internet solution and stick that card into the hotspot and then you've got wifi for phones and computer, and could use certain apps for free phonecalls over the computer or phone. Or, of course, if you've got a modern phone that can create a hot spot, you can use it to connect your computer to.
This kind of burst my bubble 😞 I thought van life was on the cheap and that’s why a lot of people chose to take on the lifestyle. But everything worthwhile costs money 💕❤️
I'm sure there are folks who spend way more and way less... I don't spend that much living in my home, i'm kinda on the fence as to whether I want to sell my home, rent it or just have neighbors check it.
We spend quite a bit on diesel because we travel from place to place quite a bit! We sold our home... and literally everything we owned! I’m glad we did, it gives us an exact number that we have to live on... and we don’t have anything at home to dress over! It’s a big decision for sure!
This video was really helpful ... I will be on the road in April and budgeting $$$ will be necessary. Can't wait to watch your travel videos! Thanks so much for all your hard work.🚐😎
My wife and I use Google Fi. We switched from Verizon. There is a higher propensity for dropped calls, but on average, the data payment structure saves us a lot! Plus there are no worries when we travel internationally.
I'm not sure where GasBuddy sends you but if it's a smaller station, or independent be cautious re: getting a bad load of fuel. A batch with gasoline contamination could cause your fuel pump to send metal shards into the rest of the system for a very costly fuel system repair. I prefer to buy my diesel from large truck stops that cycle through a lot of diesel daily.
We stick to the name brand stations... gas buddy just gets us off the main roads and back into some neighborhood stations! We’ve literally seen a $.60 difference from a Shell interstate exit station to another Shell station that is just two miles away in a small town! We hear ya on the fear of bad diesel!!
Corona messed it up for now... we do not have a clean 6 months in mexico to track for you guys. But, once it is over... I will figure out how to get a good comparison for you all. I do have a solid two months in Baja... thinking about doing what Baja van life for two months costs. Stay Tuned
Thanks for sharing your life and travels with us! Really like your love of nature!! Would you tell us about the birds on the line that you have in the van.. you likely have done so before but would you tell us again?
Once we had the couch installed, I started to add decor... when I sat on the couch it was easy to see that I couldn’t really hang anything on the wall or our heads would hit it. But, I knew I needed something there, so I googled “flat hanging wall decor”.... and that is when I discovered wall decals! There’s thousands to choose from, but as soon as I saw the birds, I knew they were perfect! They are also removable... and there has been no issue with them coming off the wall!
I had google Fi for 4 years....and it by FAR cost me more in terms of monthly bill. You can get as much data as you want through anyone but I have recently found that t-mobile is the best for data and data rates. I have never been throttled on data and I use a ton. And they JUST upgraded their service to 5G. Just FYI.
I’ve heard this for domestic... but we are struggling to find a cheaper plan for international roaming... and we are leaving the USA for several years!
I now buy a SIM card in each country where I need to. They are more commonly sold over the counter in other countries than in the USA for some reason. Very easy to find. It turned out to be considerably cheaper, but more importantly for me, easier to use than fooling with Google fi or International Verizon for example.
Great info. Do you have separate insurance for your belongings? Will your van/belongings insurance cover you internationally? We plan to go full time in 2020, but will remain mostly stateside for our travels.
We do not right now... but, we are looking into it now! Since we are going international, it is looking like we will need to insure the items in our van through a business insurance plan. I think if you are staying in USA, it’s simpler, but I’ll do an update once we get that figured out!
Wow! Your monthly expenses are over double what most people I know who are Van living it….. live on! Guessing this UA-camr represents all the wealthy folk.
We did one for Baja... Pre-covid. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/5HpLTBQGdi0/v-deo.html Likely won't do one for all of Mexico because it wasn't typical be wise of the lockdown! We will do another one for some countries as we head south!
I would love to see a video on any info you have compiled about taking a van overseas! Costs, shipping, is it legal and possible to drive an American vehicle in places like Europe or Asia? Or are you guys staying in North America?
May I ask what the break down cost for the food and entertainment category is? I’m curious because I would be solo living and I’d like to try and see what I would need to consider vs what I could cut out. For example I would use a streaming service and a vpn but I would not need to dine out and I’m fairly frugal with groceries. So I’m curious what your grocery cost vs entertainment cost and grocery vs dining out cost are. Sorry if it’s asking for too much, you don’t need to reply if it is.
Hi! Thank you for all yours videos! I'm trying to understand how can you get money to live in a van for so long? Do you work online or something else? Thanks Ricky
I know lots of single women who live in vans that do soooo much on $800. A month. If you are going to be a solo traveler… join one of the solo women traveler FB pages for some great tips.
Those are low health insurance rates. You mentioned that it has something to do with traveling internationally. Is there any more you can add or do a video on health insurance? Thanks for the great vids!
Yes, it’s an international plan. We hesitate to recommend it because we’ve never used it... and hoping we never need to! Although, I’m sure we will one day! The rates were exciting to us for sure! You have to reside outside of the USA for at least six months of the year to be able to get the insurance. It’s a company called IMG. If we ever need to use the insurance, then we can maybe do a video to say how it went!
If you don’t follow “The Motorhome Experiment” you should they have done Canada and Mexico and put out videos all through it so they would gladly share their experiences with you on what worked best for them. Thanks for your hard work.
Snow & Curt a word of advice... if you are crossing the border to Baja, sun morning 5am to 6am is a great time. Within a 2 hour drive of the border is not safe for gringos still especially on a fri/sat night. We lived in Mulegé, let me know if you go thru there. I know people! 😉
Great tip! We’ve heard to get away from the border area as quick as possible, but no one has ever suggested a ‘best time’ to cross! So, THANK YOU! We will be crossing into Baja the first or second week of January! Which border crossing do you suggest?
Snow & Curt we always did San Diego... it was the best major highway. Hopefully you got some good shocks. You will see a lot of washboard roads. (Oh and take some bags of hard candy for the kids when you stop somewhere. ❤️) We use to stock up on dollar store batteries, flashlights, and cheap fishing gear/poles. You will find that often when you need help, they don’t always take money there. Gifts sometimes goes farther. You gotta go to Todos Santos too! Man, I’m jealous! Have a great trip! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s a drastic savings from our old “house living”... but, we know everyone’s numbers will be different! Just wanted to share so people could use the info to start coming up with their budget!
So far, so good... the real test will be once we get to Central America. It does come with unlimited data, but they slow you down once you pass your plan storage amount. If you have to buy extra data at higher speed for the remainder of a month, it is pricey. But, that only happened to us once. We govvle up data with video uplaoding, so if we cannot find wifi, i have to use my googlefi.
Have you guys tried mint mobile for your phone service it's 15/month unlimited talk/text with 3gb data with yearly plan?For internet I've seen people using netbuddy with mofi4500 for unlimited internet with amazing speed?
We have not tried them, we will check it out. International coverage is super important for any plan we pick. Thanks for the info... we will def check it out!
Wow, I don't spend that at my house and my mortgage is over $1000 a month. My cell is $40 a month unlimited data, etc...and a free hotspot with visible.
We spend quite a bit on diesel... and our health insurance is included! We know that it could be done much cheaper, but this is our budget... what’s awesome about van life is there’s tons of different ways to do it! Thanks for watching!!
@@SnowAndCurt check out visible which is a sister company of Verizon that use Verizon towers and it is $40 flat fee a month unlimited data text talk. I got it off of this guy Grand adventures and it has a hotspot so you could run over things off of it but only one at a time. But the guy on Grand adventures found a way to work around and is able to I think run 5 off of his one hotspot. I'm not sure about international though
We are staying put where we are right now until it is safe to travel again. We have been in a little beach town in Oaxaca Mexico since early March hunkered down and social distancing... and we believe we will be here for at least 2 more months... maybe longer. We will be extremely safe! Thanks for worrying about us.
Yea…. As “if” our country doesn’t have our fair share of banditos who will rob you in a split second…..and murderers, and people who just like to gun down people in crowds! Hell, you’re safer in OTHER countries….I grew up in 6 different countries and was never afraid ……till I moved back to the U.S. and within 2 months, my dad and I were mugged outside an eatery in Los Angeles! 🙁
Great video! Have you guys heard of Bob Wells from CheapRVLiving? He’s huge in the nomad community so I’m sure you know him. He did a video about health insurance on the road & hipped me to something I hadn’t thought about, an HSA. I haven’t done the research yet but it’s a health savings account that you can dump money into, roll it over & whatever hasn’t been used on medical expenses can go towards your retirement fund. Not sure if that’s exactly right. Need to do more research. I also subscribe to the channel OurRichJourney( a young couple achieved FIRE at age 40 and they’ve relocated to Portugal with their 2 girls). They are counting their HSA account as part of their retirement fund as well. International insurance sounds great! I pay just under $500 a month for me & my son😩 Happy Travels! Can’t wait to see the next video 😊

You guys complement each other, where one stops talking, the other picks up and keeps going. Be safe, install cameras and a hidden safe box.
You two are a great inspiration to those of us that are couch potatoes because we are too scared to take a chance and be adventurous.

Thanks!!! We were both project managers in our previous lives, so budget is a way of life! Lol! Glad you enjoyed the video... as always, thanks for tuning in!
Thank you. I think this is the most honest look at budgets that I have seen.
We kept all of our receipts from our 8 weeks in Baja... Thinking I'll put out a video on that budget sometime in the next month or so!
Thanks for the budget numbers. I was estimating your monthly total from the category percentages as you went along and then your actual total didn’t seem to jive.

Would love to see a cost update and impact of COVID. Thanks for the great videos!!
Thank you for being so up front....enjoy your travels and please be safe.
You are welcome!
Great information! Thank you guys!!!👍
I’m just here for the kitties... we need to see them more! 😻😸 another great video, thanks for all the work you put into this!! 👌

Glad it was helpful! And yes.... crunching numbers is not thrilling! LOL!! Stay tuned.... thinking about putting out our budget for 2 months in Baja!
When you ship your van across the ocean I hope you do a video about that. How to find a trustworthy shipping co. Do's and don'ts and whatever you learn. ❣️
You two are very intelligent. Thanks for the great video.
☺️☺️☺️ you’ve got us blushing over here! Glad you enjoyed it!
I was about to say 2500/month was unacceptable. Then I remember just my mortgage is 1600. Wow. I love your lives. New subscriber!
Yep... $2500 for EVERYTHING... and it covers us both.... pretty good!
Very, very good! Thanks very much for sharing this! Perhaps something to consider for the use of internet is getting a mobile wifi hotspot (i.e. Huawei do them). Look for one to be operated with a SIM card. You could then, in the respective country, look for the cheapest pre-paid all-you-can-eat internet solution and stick that card into the hotspot and then you've got wifi for phones and computer, and could use certain apps for free phonecalls over the computer or phone.

I thought van life was on the cheap and that’s why a lot of people chose to take on the lifestyle. But everything worthwhile costs money 💕❤️
Different budgets for different people... do not give up on it yet, keep researching.
I'm sure there are folks who spend way more and way less... I don't spend that much living in my home, i'm kinda on the fence as to whether I want to sell my home, rent it or just have neighbors check it.

Glad it was helpful! And good luck when you hit the road... exciting times ahead!
Super interesting. Thank you!!
Do you use a program to track your spending? What method do you use for tracking?
My wife and I use Google Fi. We switched from Verizon. There is a higher propensity for dropped calls, but on average, the data payment structure saves us a lot! Plus there are no worries when we travel internationally.
Thanks for this info Matt! We’ve heard this from a few people... the international benefits are what is so appealing!
Can you share health insurance information? The few I am looking at are only allowing 60 days trip outside the country. Love your adventure videos
You Guys are awesome. Thank for all your input. :-)
Our pleasure!
I'm not sure where GasBuddy sends you but if it's a smaller station, or independent be cautious re: getting a bad load of fuel.

Do it at Costco. Cheapest gas by far and top tier gas.
Eventually watch out for Capetown. Some areas can be quite rough but much better than Joburg
We will... Thanks for the heads up!
Interesting video! Looking forward to if you are filming an update on the van life cost Mexico vs US :)
Corona messed it up for now... we do not have a clean 6 months in mexico to track for you guys. But, once it is over... I will figure out how to get a good comparison for you all. I do have a solid two months in Baja... thinking about doing what Baja van life for two months costs. Stay Tuned

Hi just wondering do you have an update on monthly expenses outside of USA ?
We did one for Baja... Pre-covid. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/5HpLTBQGdi0/v-deo.html
Likely won't do one for all of Mexico because it wasn't typical be wise of the lockdown! We will do another one for some countries as we head south!
I would love to see a video on any info you have compiled about taking a van overseas! Costs, shipping, is it legal and possible to drive an American vehicle in places like Europe or Asia? Or are you guys staying in North America?
This video will give you all of the details of our plan! ua-cam.com/video/5krUgf1Yti8/v-deo.html
We will for sure share info as we experience it!
May I ask what the break down cost for the food and entertainment category is?
I’m curious because I would be solo living and I’d like to try and see what I would need to consider vs what I could cut out.
For example I would use a streaming service and a vpn but I would not need to dine out and I’m fairly frugal with groceries.
So I’m curious what your grocery cost vs entertainment cost and grocery vs dining out cost are. Sorry if it’s asking for too much, you don’t need to reply if it is.
I’ll try to get you some numbers next time I pop open the laptop!
Snow & Curt thank you so much! I’ve been meticulously trying to cost everything out, your videos are fantastic! I’m glad I found your channel!
Hi! Thank you for all yours videos! I'm trying to understand how can you get money to live in a van for so long? Do you work online or something else?
Thanks Ricky
Our house of 20 years... We sold it... Traveling on the money from selling the house!
Is there any way to take your info and calculate a single traveler cost?
Great question, I was thinking the same thing.
I’ll try to run some quick numbers the next time I have the laptop out!

I would think it will be all the same except for food cost, and health insurance.
The Van is incredible! Is there a video like this for how much it cost to convert?
Curt is literally working on that now.... Look for it in a few weeks!
@@SnowAndCurt Yay! Thank you! By far the best van conversion I have ever seen🤯

Snow & Curt Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your future videos.
Why is Canada not in your travel plans?
We visited Canada (all parts) six times in our pre-van life! So, since our plan is do ambitious, we skipped it for now! We absolutely love Canada!
If you don’t follow “The Motorhome Experiment” you should they have done Canada and Mexico and put out videos all through it so they would gladly share their experiences with you on what worked best for them. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for the info... we will check them out!
We use to life in Baja 5 months out of the year.... we lived like "KINGS" on $4000. Stay away from tourist towns/cities!
We have heard similar stories and are excited to cross the border to see what we can save! And we plan to mostly stay away from the tourist traps!
Snow & Curt a word of advice... if you are crossing the border to Baja, sun morning 5am to 6am is a great time. Within a 2 hour drive of the border is not safe for gringos still especially on a fri/sat night. We lived in Mulegé, let me know if you go thru there. I know people! 😉
Great tip! We’ve heard to get away from the border area as quick as possible, but no one has ever suggested a ‘best time’ to cross! So, THANK YOU! We will be crossing into Baja the first or second week of January! Which border crossing do you suggest?
Snow & Curt we always did San Diego... it was the best major highway. Hopefully you got some good shocks. You will see a lot of washboard roads. (Oh and take some bags of hard candy for the kids when you stop somewhere. ❤️) We use to stock up on dollar store batteries, flashlights, and cheap fishing gear/poles. You will find that often when you need help, they don’t always take money there. Gifts sometimes goes farther. You gotta go to Todos Santos too! Man, I’m jealous! Have a great trip! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!!! Great advice!
That's soooooo much larger than my 400/month costs. But I'm not road tripping 100 percent of the time
Yep, different budgets for different folks! We spend quite a bit on deisel.
I wonder the comparison is with living at home for 5 months. Great figures in any case.
It’s a drastic savings from our old “house living”... but, we know everyone’s numbers will be different! Just wanted to share so people could use the info to start coming up with their budget!
Apple is bringing out a Satellite Phone.
Would love to hear how the Google fi work's
So far, so good... the real test will be once we get to Central America. It does come with unlimited data, but they slow you down once you pass your plan storage amount. If you have to buy extra data at higher speed for the remainder of a month, it is pricey. But, that only happened to us once. We govvle up data with video uplaoding, so if we cannot find wifi, i have to use my googlefi.
Good video, I'll have a much tighter budget. :-)
Yep... budgets come in all shapes and sizes, cool thing about van life is that we can all figure it out! Good Luck and thanks for tuning in!

But the guy on Grand adventures found a way to work around and is able to I think run 5 off of his one hotspot. I'm not sure about international though

Christ America is expensive.. I thought the uk wasnt cheap
Yes it is... but, we are in Mexico and it is WAY WAY WAY better!!
Please don't go to Nicaragua because of the covid, many people are dying there plus health care system is a nightmare.
